Head over Heels: Impact of a Health Promotion Program to Reduce Falls in the Elderly.
Gallagher, Elaine M.; Brunt, Howard
Canadian Journal on Aging, v15 n1 p84-96 Spr 1996
The Falls Intervention Trials included 50 older adults as controls and 50 who were given risk assessment, individualized feedback, and a motivational video and booklet. The treatment group acted on only 50% of recommendations for risk reduction. The intervention may not have addressed many of the specific causes of falling. (SK)
